Asymmetric Aspheric Surfaces, Export to CAD Features in reTORT v2.6
APRIL 25, 2022Asymmetric Aspheric Surfaces, Export to CAD Features in reTORT v2.6 Even Order Biconic Asphere Example Properties (Asymmetric) Asymmetric aspheric surface capability has been enhanced in v2.6. Aspheric lenses are essential design objects in lens design. reTORT v2.6 provides for asymmetric (xy) and symmetric (r) aspheric surfaces. They can be modeled with only even terms, only odd, full terms, and any kappa constant. The example used...
